In Love with Steak (Perfect for two)
Ingredients
Steak
Salt & Pepper Rub
Olive Oil
The way to his/her heart is through the stomach…
-
Dry Off
Gently pat your steak dry with a paper towel. -
Season
Brush with olive oil and pat down with a generous sprinkling of Gianni’s love blend and freshly ground black pepper. Massage it in gently, like you would your lover. -
Turn Up the Heat!
Get the Pan Hot — Really Hot. -
Skinny Dipping
Put the steak into the pan. Start with the sides, and then allow your steak to sit in the pan for a few minutes on each side to develop the crust. You’ll know it’s time to flip the steak when it comes loose and can be moved freely around the pan. -
Butter it Up (optional)
After flipping the steak, add a dollop of butter onto the steak. Allow it to melt into the steak. Baste the steak using the melted butter and juices to caramelize the crust. -
Cook to perfection
Cook the steak according to preference on temperature. -
Give it a rest
Prior to serving, allow the steak to rest for a few minutes. This will allow all the juicy goodness to be retained by the meat and redistribute all the flavours evenly. -
Voila
Carve and serve, with condiments or on its own. Buon appetito!
Cooking Tips:
- You can rest the cooked steak in aluminium foil or between two plates
- The best way to prepare an intimate meal for two is to have a sharing dish in the middle!
